Pros

Was a great company, made good products. Many outstanding employees throughout the company. Historical products are well designed and excellent when made properly.

Cons

Treats employees poorly: low salaries, verbal abuse, forced overtime, no respect for employees. Since the purchase of Sea-Bird by Danaher the management has been changed to inexperienced, poor managers who have no experience in the industry, poor decision making abilities and much more interest in the bottom line than in the customer. When found that 60% of the employees would leave if they were offered another job management response was that the employees could leave if they didn't like it.

Pros

If there is one leader in this organization with a deep, hands-on understanding of manufacturing and supply chain, it is the VP of Operations. He operates at a level that is simply the strongest Sea-Bird has ever seen on fundamentals, close to the details, and able to connect strategy to execution in a way that drives real results. His coaching has elevated not just his direct team, but multiple functions across the organization. If anything, he is often the one bridging gaps and raising the bar.

Cons

Limited visibility on decisions and alignment on what truly matters for the business as a whole.
